New Smoker From MD

[cdm1082]

Hi, my name is Chris and I'm from Maryland. I've been cooking for about 10 years off and on at resturants so I have some cooking exp but just diving more into grilling and smoking. I've been watching the series Pitmasters and want to try brisket and ribs soon.

I have a basic half barrel style charcoal grill.

Hope to get lots of good tips and tricks for smoking in the forums.
